“
Long live the Fête de l'Humanité which we missed so much last year: See you very soon on September 10, 11 and 12, 2021 at Parc de la Courneuve for this popular, cultural, political, festive, internationalist meeting. In short, a unique event in France!
», Tweeted Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the PCF and presidential candidate. The space on which the festival will take place will be more limited than in other years, 16 hectares instead of the usual 50, according to Patrick Le Hyaric, director of Humanity. Only 40,000 people per day will be able to be accommodated, so as to be able to respect the “
barrier gestures
” which remain relevant, even if the health crisis is largely under control.
The Huma Festival, which first took place in 1930, welcomed up to half a million visitors in all. Last year, the party was canceled due to Covid-19. This is also the last year it takes place at La Courneuve. From 2022, it will take place at Plessis-Pâté (Essonne), a change due to the organization of the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.
